With the American South getting unprecedented snowfall and the rest of the temperate locations getting repeatedly slammed with super-cold temps, a jacket that's usually regarded as "transition" shouldn't be all over our radar. But the motorcycle jacket is all we're thinking about, thanks to some celebrity sartorial mind control.

Amber Rose is totally nailing that tough girl/pretty girl look by layering her well-worn biker jacket over a floaty white dress. Combat boots perfectly complete the look. La La Anthony brings a nice, bright bodycon dress to another level by topping it with a cool biker jacket. We are super into Anna Kendrick's pattern play here with a tweedy biker jacket serving as the ideal second layer for a patterned dress. And Cat Deeley's apparent biker jacket/sweater piece has the warmth and comfort we crave from our outerwear at this point in the year.
